Why on a 1979 two pence coin does it say new pence 10?

Occasionally, the Royal mint has a mix up with the dies or the blanks used to produce coins. It is possible that the 10 New Pence dies were used on a 2 New Pence blank. If this is the case, part of the 10 Pence coin design will be outside the perimeter of the 2 Pence blank, the 10 Pence coin being slightly larger than the 2 Pence coin. Alternatively, you may have a trick coin available from magic shops.

How many 2p coins have same value as 1 five and 7 pennies?

A five pence coin is worth 5 pence, and 7 pennies are worth 7 pence, making the total value 5 + 7 = 12 pence. Since each 2p coin is worth 2 pence, you can determine how many 2p coins equal 12 pence by dividing 12 by 2. Thus, 12 pence divided by 2 pence per coin equals 6. Therefore, 6 two-pence coins have the same value as 1 five pence coin and 7 pennies.
